Rosy Lips-Dramatic Personals.
The day of the fawn.colored covert
coat with its broad overlapping seams
has passed away, and the jacket that a
few months ago brought $35 and e4O
when ready made, at the best shops, and
much more when made to order, can now
be gotten for from IS to $40, the differ
ence in price being graded not by the
material, but by the shops in which it is
bought. The successor for the short
coat of this kind is necessity, is of dark
green or dark blue broadcloth, close
fitting, having shawl collar, and, unless
the figure is too stout to permit 1t, should
be double e-breasted; the buttons are large
natural pearl ones, and the lining is
black satin, Of which every woman knows
the value for putting on. An unlined
jacket is warranted to wear out the
temper more quickly than anything else
l know, and will use up more strength
than two or three days of quinine will
supply
The short jacket may be only an
episode in the wardrobe of fashiona-
BILE girl, but it is very important one /;
1t Is worn over the cotton as well as
over the lace gown for yachting and
driving, while at the least hint of a sud-
den chill in the air 1t is put on to keep
from the maiden fair that most dreaded
of complaints, cold in the head. Venus
herself would be unbeautiful in this con-
dition; and though we may Anglicize it
and speak of 1t as "real English rose
cold," II is none the less true that it
makes the eyes horribly red, swells the
nose, upsets the temper and causes the
wise woman to seek the seclusion of her
own chamber until it has passed away.
Everybody offers his favorite remedy:
but once q cold has taken possession Of
. body, that body is really governed by
an evil spirit which will only 90 out by
fasting and prayer, demanding as well the
usual number of hours.
One OF the prettiest of the long wraps
is one made by Worth for Mrs. Langtry;
1t is Stuart plaid in wool exactly like that
seen in the shawls so much favored by
the Scotch people. 1t reaches almost to
the edge of the skirt and has fora finish
heavy black silk fringe such as is seen
at the upholsterer's. Fullness in the
back is gained by Watteau fold, and
the sleeves are long, loose and pointed,
the entire garment being lined through.
out with white satin. It Is excessively
becoming to the Lily, her tall graceful
figure being we'll adapted to such design.
The cafe ct Delmonico's, the Hoffman
House, and all the New York places that
keew him well, weep tears, presumably
of gin tizzes, because of the departure of
Maurice Bernhardt. Sara's son and
heir, the pride and torment of her life,
on whom she lavishes all her love, is a
big, stalwart fellow who might be taken
anywhere for an Englishman. This
has always been the ambition of his
mother; for while she thinks French
women the most charming in the
wo1d she yet believes that English
men are the most fascinating and best
looking. Madame makes herself u
more of the stage than on it, and
presents to her admirers q face that
is crude,- as far as workmanship is
concerned, and on which paint and
powder are placed ad H6ttum. Her
lips are always painted y fiery red,
50 that it is easy to understand vhy
they are not IS tempting as they might
be: l heard funny story about her
this winter. A young journalist had
been with her for many hours, was
charming, delightful, and although he
was interviewing her, still amused and
entertained her. At the end of the seance
madame arose, gave one of her fasci. |
mating little shrieks of disgust and said.
"Oh, you Americans If it had been a
Frenchman who had been beside me for |
three hours, at the end of the first he
would have been on his knees kissing nv |
hand, at the end of the second he would |
have sworn eternal love and fidelity, and |
at the end of the third he would have
kissed me ON the lipsW The unfortunate
newspaper man did not dare explain to
her the truth, which was that her lips
had not the slightest attraction for him,
and indeed, as he afterward said, he was
certain he would have felt as II he were
kissing the palette of an amateur artist.
II Is curious that woman % clever a.
Madame Bernhard should make such Q
mistake as this, but that she does only
proves even clever women are liable to
err.
Apropos of French people, a man was

andre Dumas, and he claimed that he was
the most magnificently handsome man

look like" and the answer was, "Fred
